    Q: Can I change the video resolution when converting?

    Q: Does RunConvert work in all browsers?

    A: Yep! Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge—we play nice with all the modern ones.

    Q: Can I reduce background noise through conversion?

    A: Conversion alone won’t clean the audio. For that, try an audio editor before or after the conversion.

    Q: Why is my converted video larger than the original?

    A: It happens if the output format uses less compression or adds metadata. You can tweak the resolution or bitrate to fix that.

    Q: Will subtitles stay synced after conversion?

    A: If they’re embedded, yes. If they’re external (like .srt), they might need re-syncing.

    Q: Why is my video blurry after conversion?

    A: It might be set to a lower resolution or bitrate. Try converting again with higher settings.
